Mississippi News Now has confirmed that the State Flag is no longer flying over the Jackson FBI Office. The agency released a statement saying the executive management made the decision to take it down a few weeks ago.

"While we are all proud to live and work in Mississippi, leaving the flag in place could send a message that the FBI supports one side of the issue versus the other," the statement said.
